90 Minute Spitfire Simulator Training - Suffolk




About the experience
Product ID: 13399
Gear up for the adventure of a lifetime with the Mk IX simulator in Suffolk! Picture this: a 90-minute session that throws you right into the heart of the action, all located in Mildenhall near Bury St. Edmunds. Now, Mildenhall isn't just any spot. It's famous for the active RAF/USAF station sharing its name. And guess what? The brains behind this Spitfire simulator have got some serious RAF Mildenhall experience under their belts. Imagine stepping into a complete replica cockpit, with all the analogue controls and tactile feedback you'd expect. Oh, and the cherry on top? A 200-degree HD screen that'll have you feeling like you're soaring through the skies. We're talking elliptical-shaped wings and a propeller so realistic, you'll forget you're not actually flying! Your journey kicks off with a training session on a simulator, giving you the lowdown on everything from instruments to takeoff and landing. Then, it's time for the main event: piloting the Spitfire and maybe even engaging in a Battle of Britain-style aerial dogfight. Don't let this chance to dive into history slip away—book your spot today!

So easy to book and when we arrived for the Spitfire simulator we were overwhelmed with the instructors welcome and knowledge. From start to finish my husband was totally enthralled by the experience and is looking to book again.

A fantastic experience. The cockpit was an accurate replica of the original and provided a realistic appreciation of what it was like to fly a Spitfire. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, and set the pace according to my slow learning.
